Popular Japanese songs among women in their 20s. A collection of classics that are great to listen to and great to sing (21–30)
snakeYorushika
Yorushika is a music duo that captures the hearts of young people with a wide musical range, from ennui-tinged tracks to pop songs.
Any woman in her twenties probably knows them, don’t you think? Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Hebi (Snake).
This piece is among the narrower vocal-range works in Yorushika’s catalog, with a vocal line that remains relatively even throughout.
There are also few long sustained notes and a fair number of rests, making it possible to aim for high scores even if your fundamental singing ability isn’t very strong.
First Love KillerNo Murasaki
Singer-songwriter Noashi, who has gained popularity with her offbeat melodies and lyrics that resonate strongly with women.
She’s known for her genreless musical style, releasing songs with a different vibe from her previous work each time.
Speaking of her signature tracks, wouldn’t it be “Hatsukoi Killer” (First Love Killer)? While the song carries a slightly retro, Showa-era feel, its fresh production keeps it from sounding outdated.
The vocals incorporate some rap, and because the range is very narrow, it’s exceptionally easy to sing.
It also goes over well at karaoke, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

vip?Natsuko Nisshoku
Nisshoku Natsuko is known as a singer-songwriter who accompanies herself on piano.
Her appeal lies in a worldview that, while grounded in lyrics that feel like slices of everyday life, also carries a touch of Ghibli-like fantasy in its melodies.
Among her works, the one I especially recommend is “vip?”.
It’s a very languid piece with a fairly narrow vocal range; although there are many long tones in the vocal line, the pitch movement itself is gently contoured.
It’s basically an easy song, but the voltage rises a bit in the C section, so be sure to carefully determine the appropriate key.
fortnighteill
Singer-songwriter eill, who has gained popularity for her sophisticated musicality, draws influence from overseas music and is known for her smooth vocal lines that are uncommon in J-pop.
Among her works, the track I especially recommend is “fortnight.” Since it incorporates elements of Western music, it takes a bit of skill to lock into the groove; however, the vocal line itself has a narrow range and gentle contours, making it undeniably easy to sing.
The dust on the shade extendsI wish it could stay midnight forever.
ZUTOMAYO is a band that enjoys overwhelming support from listeners in their teens and early twenties.
They specialize in songs that blend catchiness with emotional depth, and among those, the track I especially recommend is Shade no Hoko-ri wa Enchō (The Dust of the Shade Extends).
It features a large number of mixed-voice sections and very few rests, so it demands strong stamina and precise pitch control in the high range.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
GRL GVNGXG
This song is by XG, a girl group that debuted in 2022, and it’s been attracting worldwide attention, even hitting No.
1 on Billboard’s Hot Trending Songs chart.
The title “GRL GVNG” is read as “Girl Gang,” and it features a heavy beat reminiscent of R&B and hip-hop, with strikingly cool rap.
The bold, confident lyrics are another highlight.
The entire song is in English, so if you’re interested, be sure to dig into the words.
JUMPSakurako Ohara
This pop and upbeat song, so characteristic of Sakurako Ohara, is “JUMP,” released in 2023.
In fact, 2023 marked the 10th anniversary of her debut.
The song reflects on her activities so far and expresses her feelings for the fans who have supported her at this milestone.
Reading the lyrics gives you the courage to keep going—like, “Even if things don’t go well, let’s move forward little by little.” It’s a recommended track for when you’re feeling down or need a little extra push.
